• During the current year, SI paid actual rental costs of $55,000.

 

• A local car dealership that has made substantial donations to SI in the pastsupplied the mini-buses and customized them to SI’s requirements. The customized vehicles have a fair value of $500,000, but the car dealership sold the vehicles to SI for $425,000. SI took delivery of the vehicles in the summer of the current year.

 

• The vehicles are expected to have a 10-year useful life. SI’s policy is to take a full year’s of amortization in the year of acquisition.

 

• In the current year, SI paid salaries of $150,000. $25,000 of the salaries related to fundraising for endowments and the rest was related to operations and SI’s annual fundraising projects.

• On July 1 of the current year, SI received an endowment of $250,000 from a refugee who became a successful business person in Canada. The investment income from this endowment can be used by SI as it sees fit. The funds were invested in bonds that have an annual yield of 3%.
